Challenges and Successes

Issue: The contract drawings included a sequence to reset tower water temperature based on O/A wet bulb temperature. This sequence was written for the Carrier chillers, once proposed.
Resolution: After consulting with the chiller rep., an “adjustable” set point of approx. 80 deg was recommended. The Engineer of Record accepted our recommendation. This results in the proper sequencing and operation of the Smart chiller with increased energy savings.
Issue: with AHU’s 1.2 and 3 return air dampers. The manufacturer changed voltage from 0 to 10v to 2 to 10 v, for proper operation but still experienced dampers being “stuck” in the closed position.
Resolution: AHU’s 1, 2 and 3 continued to have issues with return air dampers “sticking” open and the manufacturer replaced actuators with a Belimo product. This corrected the on-going issue.
